Tim_Both Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Hi All, Here's my most recent and 4th armour completion, Tristar's excellent little Panzer. I build it out of the box including the ModelKasten tracks which came in the initial boxings. This was the first time I used the popular hairspray technique to show a worn and weathered desert vehicle showing it's original panzer grey colour scheme. I used a mix of Gunze and Tamiya acrylics and only the slightest bit of weathering pigments. My only comment regarding the kit is to cut the '833' decal into separate numerals so they match the curve of the turret better. Hope you enjoy the pics! There's a few more at: http://www.timboth.com/models/armour/panzer1a/panzer1a.htm Thanks for taking a look.

Jasper dog Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Really nice, like this a lot. Excellent build, paint and the weathering looks spot on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 It's a nice little boy, very well weathered, exhauts grids looks nicely detailed, and tracks they are very expensive to get apart ...at least for me, Cheers Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 It looks good. Nice weathering. I will suggest to drill out the ends of the exhaust and maybe odd some smoke on the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSTON Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Tim, truly STUNNING armor! I like the subtle weathering and your hair spray technique has added panache to your Armor. Good job and thank you for sharing it. Edited February 3, 2018 by HOUSTON Spelling error.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Hi Tim, Pardon my ignorance - I am unfamiliar with this kit - what scale is it - I've read through the thread - but can't see the scale. BTW - Lovely work on the staining and chips - something to aspire to - thanks for sharing - Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Both Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Hi X, Thanks for the comments. This is the Tristar 1/35 kit. The original release (003) has the Modelkasten tracks which make a huge difference. Hard to find now but worth the hunt. Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
